Handan Xiangtangshan Grottoes

I have always wanted to visit the Xiangtangshan Grottoes, and I finally made the trip this week. Despite the uncooperative weather, I went anyway. In fact, I set out on Friday night, which gave me plenty of time. I didn't get to visit the Nuwa Palace or the ancient city of Guangfu. I personally think Handan is quite nice. The city is clean, with good greenery, and the food is economical. Vegetarian buns cost one yuan each, and the street vendors' steamed dumplings are 10-15 yuan per steamer. The noodles are indeed quite salty, which is due to the addition of broad bean sauce; the local taste tends to be strong. There are many snacks available at Xuebu Bridge, with spicy hot pot being particularly popular, and the sesame sauce is good. We stayed opposite Congtai Park, and it was a very short walk to the park and Xuebu Bridge. We set out for Xiangtangshan on Sunday morning. Perhaps due to the weather, there weren't many people, and the environment was very pleasant. I chatted with the staff who said that before, no one came and it was all dusty, but now it's much better. Due to the weather, it was very dark inside the grottoes, so I only took a few direct photos. It's better to see and experience it with your own eyes. The cultural and creative store offers free stamping; just bring your own notebook. Nan Xiangtang is not far away, so I went there too. The damage inside is very severe, with only a few caves remaining. You can decide for yourself whether to visit.
